EN: repeatedly poked or picked at
That annoying thing you do when you're bored, like poking holes in a styrofoam cup, or picking at the label of a beer bottle until it's gone. It's a motion of repeated, small, and sometimes destructive picking. Also what a chicken does to its food. 'Dukit-dukit na yung mansanas, ayoko na niyan.'
Can describe the state of an object ('dukit-dukit na') or the action itself ('pagdukit-dukit').
🇵🇭 Ayoko nang kainin iyan, dukit-dukit na ng ibon.
🇺🇸 I don't want to eat that anymore, it's been repeatedly pecked at by a bird.
